' ADvERTIsING WASTE-PAPER BOX.

Application led March 5,1914. Serial No. 822,662.

To all whom it may concern."

Be 1t known that we, EUGENE B. COOKE and Cr'rAUNOEY O. LEWIS, citizens of the .United States7 residing at New Philadelphia, in the county of Tuscarawas and ,State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful .Improvements in Advertising 'VVaste-v a box of this characterwhich is simple andl durable invconstruction and-which has removable advertising slides adapted to be readily inserted at will and which are suspended from the upper e'd'ge of the box.

Another object is. to provide a box having a dome-like closure provided with a receiving aperture constructed for protection t against the weather while remaining always open.

With these and other Objects in view, the invention consists of certaln novel features of construction, combinationy 'and arrangement of partsvas will be more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings z-Figure 1 represents a perspective View of a waste paper box constructed in accordance with this invention taken from one of the rear corners and showing the receiving opening; Fig. 2 ,is a centralvertical. section thereof;

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the' line 3 3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a perspective viewA of the upper portion of the box with the lid in Open position and the bag removed; Fig. 5 is a detail -plan view of the box to with the top open'.

In t e embodiment illustrated, a skeleton frame 1 is shown comprising a base or bottom 2 having .angular upright stri s3 secured thereto the upper ends of w ich arey connected with a band 4 forming the top of4 the frame. lThis band 4 is provided at its upper edge V,with aninturned flange 5 and said band is here shown in rectangular form having triangular corner plates 6 at each corner which are designed to brace the frame and render it ri id. Each of these plates 6 has an upwar ly projecting stud 7 for a 'purpose to be described. As shown, this band 4 has an inturned fiange'8 also at its bottom'or lower edge but this'may be dis;

' pensed with if desired it being provided only for thepurpose of strengthemng'theband.

' The bottom 2 is shown provided with downturned right angular flanges 9 which vstrf'an'gthen said bottom and also provide additional'attaching means for the outer angu- Specication of lvletters Patent. Patented Allg'. 18, 1914.

lar guide strips to be described. Outer angular strips 10 are disposed over the strips 3 and have arranged betweenl them inter#y mediate similarly shaped spacing strips 11, said spacing strips being of less width than the strips 10 so that when the parts are assembled the edges of said spacing strips will be spaced inwardly from the edgesof the outer strips 10 to provide suitable guides when the parts are assembled for the removable advertising slides to be described.

The transversely angular outer strips 10 have their lower endsA extended below the bottom 2 to form supporting legs for the box which may be" of an desired length The spacing strips exten from the upper end of the 4outer strips 10 which are arranged iush with the top edge of the band 4to a point opposite the free ed es of the fianges 9 on the bottom 2 ofthe ra-me and these strips may be secured together by any suitable means riveting or soldering being usually employed. It will thus be obvious that when these inner, outer and intermedi? ate strips are assembled, the free edges of the inner strips 3 and of the outer'strips 10 will be spaced apart a. distance equalto the thickness of the stri s 11 and suitable guides thus provided for t e removable advertising slides which form the side members of the box. As shown the inner strips 3 are of greater width than the outer strips 10 and project slightly beyond the edges Vthereof but this lis not necessary but is desirable as it forms .a more eiective guide.

The rear Wallo the casing or box is formed by a plate 12 whichY is of a width slightly less than the distance between the free edges of'two of the intermediate strips 11 arranged at Opposite corners O'f the frame 1 and'this plate 1s adapted to be inserted in the guides formed by theinner and Outer strips 3. and 10 vwhich form' the two rear standards or supports of the frame. This plate 12 is provided at its upper end with an inturned flange 13 which 1s adapted to extend over and engage the flange 5 on the to fit and to be secured by riveting or other- Wise. This rear plate l2 is permanently attached to the traine l and is designed to support a hinged closure hereinafter described.

The sides and front Wall of the box are formed by removable slides all of which are exactly alike and consequently one only will be deseribed in detail., is composed yof sheet niet-sl or any other suitable material and of a Width substantially equal to the distance between the free edges et' tivo ofA the spacing strips ll arranged at opposite corners of the frame and between which the edges of said slides are ada-pted'to niove, the inner and outer 'faces of the side edges of said slides being guided by the free edges of the inner and outer 'strips 3 and l@ srt the ends of the freine. r.linupper end of each slide l5 has an inturned right-angular lenge lG extending from one side edge to the other forming a lip which is adapted when the slides are in operative position to on the flange 5 :it the upper edge the bend 4; and thus support the slide and liinit its downward movement. The lower edffe of the slide is provided. with a. sped or guiding strip 17 here shown in the orW 'if s flange turned upwardly end F i 4 egainst the outer face of tl its opposite ends out s f e ence to peri'nit the sideedo'es or slide to inlove freely in the gui le i the frame2 seid strip or flange l? b e. enigv or gth eqnsl to the distenee be' edges 'el' tivo oi the .o at opposite corners ps 'l0 err. oi-tlie freine The closure 20 for thitislly .den .stone edge to the rear nl near its upper endvu T :is shown 's constructed of b nd 2l slightly larger than the bend flof the treme to adept it to tit dov-vn over said band [L when closed and it isprovided on. its inner face with :i leterellyent ding iienge 'e suitable distance i ein its lower edge to forni o stop for liinf the elosino movenient oi-fthe top5 se' me resting oii the fier .5 et the le when` e top is in closed position @i an up s orin and hinged l2 che ironie top enclosure 2G o. a

This plate is inclined upwardly and inwardly to prevent rain or snow frein entering the box, said inclination of the plete ea-using it to shed Water and to prevent its passage into the interior of the box. The free edge of this plate 25 is preferably provided with a dovvnturned flange 2G to which one end of a chain or other flexible element QT'may 'beseenred7 the other end of said chain being secured to one ofthe corner plates 6 at the rear of the freine and is designed to liinit the open ing movement of Athe top 20.

Apertured lugs 28 and 29 are secured respeetively at one corner of the frame and to the corresponding corner of the top in position to cause the `apertures thereof to register when the top is in closed position and to bring seid lugs in Close proximity to receive a, suitable lock for fastening the top to the box;

rlhe parts oi? this box are preferably composed of gelmnized iron but they may be composed. of any nesired material and the slides while shown in metal may be made of glass or other material desired.

A removable lining or beg 30 is adapted to be inserted Within the box and is shaped to correspond to the shape ci the bon, both being here shown rectangular in cross section. This is preferably provided at its upper edge on its :tour corners With eyes 3l which adapted. to be engaged with the studs 'i' on the corner plates 6 which hold the beg in.

The slides l5 which may be' readily removed sind changed. when desired are pro vided on their outer feces with suitable advertising sitter which renders them especially nsei'ul to merchants as they may change the slides toineet the requirements of their business for instance, Vto advertise special soles; Christmas goods and the like.
